About this property
This characterful cottage, located in the centre of the charming village of Leintwardine, is ideal for couples, friends or a small family looking for a relaxing rural holiday in Shropshire. This homely property is a perfect base for exploring South Shropshire, North Herefordshire and the Welsh Marches. There are walks from your doorstep, including a fairly challenging 6.5-mile circular walk starting and finishing at the pub by the river, which offers magnificent views along the way. Visit historic Ludlow (10 miles) and explore the medieval castle, vibrant cultural scene and superb Tudor architecture.
Step into this beautiful two-storey property through the side porch and into the bright and welcoming conservatory/sitting room: a sunny space overlooking the private garden that offers cosy sofas to unwind, chat, or watch the Smart TV. You can observe the sights and sounds of nature in the garden from the comfort of the inside through the large conservatory windows. A small kitchen sits in the corner of the room, with all the appliances necessary to rustle up a late brunch or hearty evening meal. The dining area is unique, situated in the original part of the cottage and adorned with characterful period features: low ceilings, wooden beams and an impressive fireplace with stunning exposed stonework. There is a downstairs shower room. Upstairs, you''ll find two double bedrooms and, via a step, a small upstairs bathroom. To the rear of the cottage is an enclosed garden with a small lawn and a flagstone patio area with outside seating, perfect for al fresco dining in the summer evenings.
The area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Wander through nearby Mortimer Forest (6 miles), which has several trails for all abilities through different terrain. Step back in time at the 13th-century Stokesay Castle (6 miles) or head 12 miles to the National Trust Croft Castle and Parkland and spend a day exploring the castle and extensive grounds.

We stayed in Tansy Cottage for a week and could not have been more impressed. Everything you could want is in the cottage, the owners have thought of everything. It was very clean and comfortable and the private parking is great as you do not have to leave your car on the front. I just cannot praise it enough. Although the road was busy at times we did not notice it and you are in the right spot to be near Ludlow and Leominster. The pub, the Sun, just a walk down the road is welcoming and dog friendly. We will definitiely be back for another stay.
